KSAT viewers sound off on proposed ban of e-cig sales to minors

SAN ANTONIO - District 7 City Councilman Cris Medina filed a Council Consideration Request on Monday proposing the ban of sales of electronic cigarettes and liquid nicotine to minors within city limits.

"This is really about preventing convenience stores -- or anyone that sells electronic cigarettes- from preventing them selling to minors," Medina said.

The city's Governance Committee will likely review the proposal after the council returns from its July recess.

After that, the full City Council could address the proposal after the Governance Committee makes a recommendation on the proposal.

Tami Perdue wrote, "Anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to purchase it. If too high of a nicotine is used, it can cause a high and sometimes nausea. I see banning underage, just don't ban all from using it."
